Lessons From the Peanuts Gang

The Peanuts are zany, funny and have lessons for all of us.

Has it really been over 60 years since we first laid eyes on Charles M. Schultz's first “Peanut” comic strip? What started as a comic strip in the 1950s became a legacy to readers young and old. Our favorite baldy Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus and Pigpen will always be the bedrock in pop culture. As the holidays approach us, one can’t help to think of “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” as part of your tradition and “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” We love to watch our buddies on the screen or see them in action in black and white. There is a sense of enjoyment to immerse with them. Our beloved characters always give us a sense of comfort as they go through the challenges of the day. Regardless if we read the comic or watch them on television the gang truly rocks. Join us as we look to the Peanuts for comfort, courage, hope and strength. Here are some notable lessons from the most beloved characters.
